Tiger Woods’ half-brother accused of making bomb threat against his employer

Earl Woods Jr. was arrested Thursday after police said he called the Arizona Department of Economic Security office in Phoenix.

Officers were called about 8:30 a.m. to investigate the call, which led to the evacuation of the building as police searched for the bomb.

No device was found, and police said the 58-year-old Woods admitted during the search that he’d made the call as a joke.

Investigators said Woods repeated his admission during a formal interview, and he was arrested on one count of using an electronic communication device to terrify, intimidate, threaten or harass, which is a misdemeanor.
